Napoli's coach Luciano Spalletti shared his thoughts on meeting Liverpool in the Champions League.

“We are back in the Champions League after a while and we face one of the most iconic teams in the competition.

“But we want to produce a performance up to standard, we won’t want to go to the pitch to get praise and compliments, we want to try to win the game and this is the signal we’ll try to send out.

“Like after scoring the second goal against Lazio [in a 2-1 away win last Saturday], I made two attacking subs trying to score the third goal to protect the lead.

“When you play against Liverpool, you need to be up to the standard, they play a brand of total football.”
